My GGG Grandfather Matthew Craig ran the business of J and M Craig in Kilmarnock with his brother James, and they ran quarries and fireclay works etc and also dealt in ironstone. I have a newspaper copy from Feb 1876 which reads, " The workmen of Hillhead Fireclay Works met ........along with their late Foreman Mr Boyle, and presented him with a very handsome walnut writing desk and ivory mounted inkstand on the occasion of him leaving to commence business on his own account. " Could he be yours? Regards, Ann in Lancs.
